CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED IN WESEF 2018

This year was our biggest and best Regeneron Westchester Science & Engineering Fair yet! In total, we had approximately 560 projects representing 44 high schools in our region including Westchester and Putnam Counties. The caliber of our students’ work was exceptional and rivals that of professional scientists!

The top Regeneron WESEF winners will advance to the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh, PA May 13th – May 19th where they will compete among 1,800 students from more than 75 countries around the world for $4 million in prizes.

Additionally, Regeneron WESEF is able to the send nine qualifying projects to the Genius Olympiad June 11th – June 16th, an international science fair held in Oswego, NY which will include a total of 600 projects from over 70 countries.

We must additionally thank the more than 300 judges who volunteers to support student interests in science by giving generously of their time on a Saturday morning.
